The Baltimore Jewelry Center (BJC) will present its third annual Graduate Exhibition celebrating the next generation of jewelers and metalsmiths from Friday, Aug. 14, 2026, through Friday, Sept. 25, 2026.
The Graduate Exhibition will be on view in the BJC’s gallery in the Station North Arts & Entertainment District. An opening reception will be held on Friday, Aug. 14 from 5–8 p.m. The event is free and open to the public.
The exhibition will feature artists completing undergraduate and graduate degree programs. It will reflect the breadth of contemporary jewelry education, showcasing a diverse range of materials, concepts, and practices. It will highlight emerging voices at a time of important transition for the artists.
This year’s exhibition features the work of 13 artists chosen by the BJC’s seven-member Exhibitions Committee. It will represent programs at 12 institutions across the United States and abroad. Participating artists include Grace Barden, Taney Basinger, Stina Eknert, Jake Jessop, Cole Kamerick, Stella Lee, Weiwei Li, Larissa McPherson, Ryan Moyer, Ella Parker-Harley, Olivia Plummer, Sarah Roberts, and Ryan Seng.
“As a school for metalworking, growth and learning are central to everything we do here at the Baltimore Jewelry Center,” said J Diamond, director of education. “Since we house one of the only art jewelry galleries in the Mid-Atlantic, we really appreciate the opportunity to showcase emerging artists from all over the world and celebrate them as they step out of the classroom and into their careers as makers.”
The Baltimore Jewelry Center was founded in June 2014 as an educational nonprofit whose mission is to build and support a creative community for studying and practicing metalworking. The BJC offers classes, workshops, and studio access to artists of all backgrounds and experience levels. It also helps subsidize program costs and professional development and support.
The Baltimore Jewelry Center is located at 10 E. North Ave., Baltimore.
